The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Health Policy Fellows program provides a fellowship opportunity for mid-career health professionals and behavioral and social scientists with an interest in health and healthcare policy. Individuals with diverse and unique perspectives are strongly encouraged to apply, and the foundation has an interest in rural.

Fellows will participate in the policy process at the federal level and will use that leadership experience to improve health, healthcare, and health policy. The experience is designed to prepare individuals with the skills needed to influence the future of public health and healthcare policy, as well as provide a way to advance their own career development.

The fellowship requires, at a minimum, a 12-month residential experience in Washington, D.C., with additional support for health policy leadership development activities.

• Medicine
• Nursing
• Public health
• Allied health professions
• Biomedical sciences
• Dentistry
• Economics or other social sciences
• Health services organization and administration

$175,000 stipend per fellow over a period of 12–24 months for up to 8 fellows
